Yurii Kuchabskyi is an Ukrainian artist of the Lviv art milieu of the second half of the 20th – beginning of the 21st century, teacher, scientist, researcher. Today he is an understudied artist. The relevance of the article lies in the lack of scientific study of the artistic work of Yu. Kuchabskyi. The purpose of this study is to reveal the work of Y. Kuchabskyi, stored in the fund of the Institute of Research of Library’s Art Resources of Vasyl Stefanyk National Scientific Library of Ukraine in Lviv: systematization and art history analysis of design projects. Introducing a little-known collection of works into scientific circulation will contribute to filling the empty spots in the history of Ukrainian art of industrial design of the second half of the 20th – beginning of the 21st century. The article presents a brief biography of the artist. The artist’s legacy is proposed to be divided into two groups: “Typical covers” and “Packaging and consumer graphics”. The main focus is on the design of book covers and trademarks. Publishers and artistic editors with whom the author cooperated were established. For the second group, institutions, factories, productions that used the services of a graphic designer were named. Characteristic features for each subgroup of the artist’s design solutions were analyzed and highlighted. A through line in the artist’s work that unites all projects has been determined. Summing up, it has been proven that Yu. Kuchabskyi was a professional in the field of industrial design, artistic design, perfectly mastered book printing, the art of typeface, and polygraphy. He took a prominent place in the history of artistic design of book and utility graphics.
